Generate bitmap of source control for use as drag cue?

[Jon Barron]

When a user begins a drag operation, I'd like the drag cue to be a bitmap of the source control they are dragging. Is there a simple way to generate a bitmap from a given control and set it to be the drag cue?

Hi Jon Barron,

You can create bitmap using WritableBitmap class. Please check the code needed.

Image elementAsImage = new Image();
WriteableBitmap bitmap = new WriteableBitmap(element, null);
elementAsImage.Source = bitmap;

e.Options.DragCue=elementAsImage;

Let know if you have any further questions.

Sincerely yours,
